Late Antique

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or antique:

“The poem refreshes life so that we share,
For a moment, the first idea . . . It satisfies
Belief in an immaculate beginning
And sends us, winged by an unconscious will,
To an immaculate end. We move between these points:
From that ever-early candor to its late plural....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“None will now find Cupid latent
By this foolish antique patent.
He came late along the waste,
Shod like a traveller for haste.”
